Naturally, Vibe is one of the choices. Unfathomably, he is not winning. Very much not winning. Losing, in fact. As in, "last place".

Behind Toyman II (who I've never even HEARD of?)* Behind CYCLONE?! And you do not want me to start on "Gizmo". This must not stand.

Now, we all love Killer Moth. In fact, if Vibe were not on the list, KM would get my vote.

But Vibe is on the list. Vibe, who sacrificed his life to save an innocent. Vibe, who represented the Latin community as a superhero decades before Jaime Reyes. Vibe, who helped hold the Justice League together when most other heroes -- and editors -- had abandoned it as an outdated concept. Vibe, symbol of the Joy of Comics. Vibe: liver of life; lover of liver; breakdancer.

Frankly, I'm surprised Killer Moth is doing as well as he is in the poll. I figured Gizmo would be a lock, so soon after his snub in the Crisis set (the only one of the Fearsome Five not made). But Killer Moth, who hasn't been seen in the comics (except as Charaxes) in years and years, is whuppin' him!

(And "Toyman II" is the one best remembered from Challenge of the Superfriends.)

I chose the user name winick_is_god tho'. Does that count for anything? I'm most disappointed that it didn't ask for my name like the Bluefly site my roommate had me try. I put down that my name was Cagliostro Montenegro. That's my current favorite alias.

Yes! I barely know who Vibe is, but I am fired by your zeal. Besides, hopeless causes are always fun. I WILL go and vote for Vibe. My breast is swelled with righteousness...and it's only 9:00 in the morning!

Wow, that is hard to believe. I mean, I thought he was a relatively well-known and popular character, with a long history, and one of my favorite superhero names in comics. But Negative Man doesn't have his own Clix yet, huh? That is surprising.

(I'll get the Vibe vote in later for you, I haven't bought any Heroclix in a dog's age...the Nightcrawler one you bagged on a bazillion years ago, actually.)

Wow - my love of this site has just pushed me to register for a heroclix website (I will vote for Vibe, of course) - now I am sure to be hit with millions of SPAM messages involving custom Secret Invasion skrull figurines or something.

Now if they'd made Steel and a classic Aquaman (the most glaring omission in clix so far. I want a 125 point Aquaman, dammit!) and the only missing piece of a JL Detroit team was Vibe, then I'd be right there.

Vibe in the 40-45 point range sounds about right. They could even use that new finish the Crisis Robin and Batwoman got on their capes to make Vibe's parachute pants shiny.
